Fan Casting Immortal Consequences by I.V. Marie
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by my longtime friend and former Broadway-days roommate, Kyle Kokesh, as we dive into I.V. Marie’s debut novel, Immortal Consequences — a haunting, beautifully written story about love, loss, and what it means to keep living after death.
We share what we loved most about this powerful new release, unpack the themes that hit closest to home, and reveal our dream cast for the inevitable film or TV adaptation we’re manifesting. (Hollywood, call us!)
But this episode goes deeper than just fan casting — It’s also about grief, healing, and how Immortal Consequences helped both of us navigate personal loss in unexpected ways.
If you love book discussions, fantasy romance, supernatural fiction, or just need a dose of emotional honesty wrapped in pop culture fun, this episode is for you.
